The Public Inquiry Board has said that three pages were missing from the Daphne Caruana Galizia inquiry report that was published last week.

In a statement issued through the Department of Information, the board said that pages 23, 61 and 261 from the 437-page report were erroneously left out.

It appears that the pages were “hidden” behind other pages, the board said.

This was a technical hitch and there was no intention behind the omission, the statement continues.

New copies will be sent to all concerned, the statement said.

Daphne Caruana Galizia's son Matthew Caruana Galizia has already revealed the contents of one of the missing pages - page 261 - which focuses on the Electrogas project.

"The conclusion of the Board of Inquiry is that if my mother had revealed the owner of 17 Black at a time when Electrogas was on the brink of financial collapse, the government would have not been able to guarantee a loan extension to the company, and it is the company itself that would have been reduced to dust in a field", he said of the page's contents.
